Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to ensure the tzatziki doesn’t become watery.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or grate them using a microplane to ensure no large garlic chunks remain.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Finely chop the fresh dill and stir it into the yogurt mixture.
Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the tzatziki chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve cold with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a condiment for grilled meats or falafel.
